A man and woman from Bradenton were arrested on charges of trafficking cocaine after a traffic stop in Charlotte County, authorities said.

Warren Davis, 36, and Shawnbria Williams, 23, were booked into the Charlotte County Jail with no bond set following the traffic stop, which occurred on Interstate 75 near the Charlotte-Lee county line, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.

Davis was driving a rented 2013 Nissan northbound on the interstate, traveling only 55 mph when a trooper pulled over the vehicle, according to a press release. The officer noticed the smell of burnt marijuana in the vehicle, reports indicated, and a subsequent search uncovered two one-gallon plastic bags of cocaine hydrochloride hidden in the spare tire well.
